>>1151130>speaking of Newcomb's problem. Would you 1-box or 2-box, and why would you?You open one box, because it's stated in the problem definition that the prediction is always accurate, so if you were to open two boxes then (as stated in the problem definition) that is what would have been predicted.
>what if it's not though?Well then we're just talking about bluffing another player, like in poker, and just like in poker, what you do depends on what you predict he'll do. But once again, this scenario is explicitly ruled out by the problem-as-stated.
